Election Commission urged to probe Home Minister's caste status
Like Vundavalli Sridevi, YSRCP MLA from Tadepalli (SC) Assembly Constituency, Home Minister Mekathoti Sucharita, too, is likely to land in a row as an NGO lodged a complaint with the Election Commission of India on Tuesday.
Amaravati: Like Vundavalli Sridevi, YSRCP MLA from Tadepalli (SC) Assembly Constituency, Home Minister Mekathoti Sucharita, too, is likely to land in a row as an NGO lodged a complaint with the Election Commission of India on Tuesday. Sucharita has been representing the Assembly from Prathipadu (SC) constituency.
Coincidentally, this case was lodged against the Home Minister on the day of Sridevi attended for an inquiry into her caste case at Guntur on Tuesday. Forum for Indigenous Rights - North East India, based in Assam, filed the complaint with Election Commission against Sucharita for misusing SC status. In its complaint, it claimed that she being a Christian, she cannot contest from SC reserved constituency.
An activist Dhananjay D from the Forum, said, "We requested the Election Commission to take necessary action against Sucharita for the misuse of SC reservation. She contested 2019 Assembly General Elections on behalf of YSR Congress Party and elected as MLA. She claimed her caste as SC in the affidavit. But in a recent interview to a Telugu Youtube channel she claimed that she was a Christian and practising Christianity."
